I preferred good sound stage big:shock: decent bass decent treble clarity very detail:shock: sound should not be ear piercing but should be soothing
make me shout wow .detail should be layered good. All the instrument should be heard clearly, not a detail should be missed by my ear.

These are dual driver earphones though without any crossover, depending upon densities of the two drivers.

Soundstage carries good width and decent depth. Bass has got good body and impact. Instrument separation and imaging is pretty good at the price point (<$127), you will be able to appreciate the different layers of sound and 3d positioning of instruments playing. Timbre stays almost true to the instrument. Most musical IEM that I own. Midrange is forward and carries good weight, vocals sound reasonably good due to that. Adequate treble presence, not too bright. Good dynamic range so that you get the same detailing at low volumes.

These are not officially available outside Japan. You have to get it via the link provided in the post above or from Dimitri Trush (from musicacoustics). I got mine from Dimitri @$127.

Others in same tier are Yamaha EPH-100 and VSonic GR07.

Read the appreciation thread posted above and come to a decision.

I got Bose Quietcomfort 3.

Used it couple of days. Some views:

Just when you apply it to your ears, surrounding noises are shut off. So much so that i have to keep my cellphone infront of my eyes so that I could atleast see the blinking when it's ringing.

Sound quality is magical. 100times much better than my previous chinese headphones. It is operated on internal battery. It is chargeable Li-ion battery and lasts around 20-25 hours. There is a spare battery and charger along with the kit.

No battery, no music though!

I ordered Philips SHP1900 headphones from flipkart 4days ago.

Flipkart.com: Philips SHP1900 Headphone: Headphone

Seeing all the reviews on the site i was very impressed by it and therefore selected it to buy.
But i am disappointed by the product. I have connected to my computer.
One side of it (the side with the wire) constantly produces a trr-trr-trr sound while playing music,movies etc. while the other one doesnt produces it.
First of all i thought that it must be due to its low bass that it is not able to produce sound but if that was the case the other side would also have been producing the same sound.
Is there any defect in the piece?
Should i ask for a replacement?
Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!

@Faun,was going to grab a SoundMagic E10,but just read about "SIDDHARTH.BEAM 's E10 purchase".He just disliked it in an hour!,which made me feel to have an eye on Meelec cc51 and BW M2.BW M2 isnt available in India (although PristineNote claims to have its stock stuck in customs) and I have no interest to grab one from Mp4Nation ,waiting for months or customs demons by my side! Bitfang.com shows Meelec cc51 at 3.5k.
I prefer good sound stage along with decent bass, decent treble ,I am an analytical listener.
So should I stick to cc51?I would love to have other IEM's within the same price range available in India! with my preferences.Suggest me ,I am indeed vey confused:?:

Got my E30 today.
Initial Impressions- Packaging is very nice ,accessories are also good but a hard carrying case would have made it just perfect.Housing is made of plastic but doesn't look cheap at all.
At first when i plugged them in my pc i felt that volume was very low even at 100% volume.Then i plugged them in my cellphone and the sound is just perfect.These are very light weight,comfortable with excellent sq and i have already fell in love wit these earphones.
Now could someone help with the computer issue.Impedence of these IEMs is only 12ohms which is very low so it can't be the issue.I have also used my old headphone with pc whose impedance was 32ohms and i never had this problem.

CC51, while good at details retrieval, got a V shaped frequency curve. Bass and treble is more prominent compared to vocals, to put it bluntly. It's a fun IEM but not an analytical one.

If you are looking for analytical earphones then better try HiFiman RE-0 or RE-ZERO. I got 2 of these just in case my other earphones conk off and I am left with nothing. These are exceptionally good for the price. Yo ucan get second hand for 2-2.5k. Watch out for deals in Techenclave or other forums. original price is $79 + $10 shipping.

Otherwise a safer bet is to get a balanced earphone like Soudnmagic E30 or Bwavz M1 (said to be balanced). It is not as dry as RE-0, colored a bit.

I will be doing a review of E30 by tomorrow. After that I might put it up for sale.

But I'd recommend you to get RE-0 if you prefer analytical earphones.
